Student Areas Liverpool

Liverpool is a city with a thriving student population. Liverpool, the UK’s fastest-growing economy, has recently profited from large-scale employment creation for young professionals. It is one of the country’s most important digital and tech hubs and one of the country’s major cities. The city is brimming with entrepreneurial potential and has a vibrant property market, attracting property investment firms looking for long-term opportunities. The current surge in demand has driven up home prices, with Liverpool experiencing the most yearly gain in house prices of any UK city between August 2017 and August 2018. Property prices are expected to rise much more in the coming years. Here are the most popular student areas in Liverpool…

Wavertree

Wavertree is home to several notable Liverpool attractions, including the Wavertree playground, a large park, and an athletics track that is ideal for sports fans. It’s one of the most popular student areas in Liverpool. Major bus routes, such as the 79, are also close by. Along High Street in Wavertree, there are several bars and clubs. Because of its proximity to the city’s three universities, Wavertree is an excellent choice for any Liverpool student. Smithdown Road in Liverpool is also a popular student neighbourhood, with a plethora of clubs, restaurants, and takeaways right on your doorstep, as well as being close to the city’s universities, Sefton Park, and the city centre. 

Kensington/Allerton

Kensington is an excellent all-around choice. Because Kensington is within walking distance of the city centre but has its own collection of stores and eateries, students find the rent to be relatively inexpensive. In the future years, more students will become aware of Kensington. Kensington has several streets named after Liverpool’s most famous export, The Beatles, including John Lennon Drive, Paul McCartney Way, Apple Court, and Cavern Court, which are shared with neighbouring postcode L7. Newsham Park, a 121-acre Victorian park with Grade II listed buildings, a fishing lake, and a children’s play area, is also located in L6.

This region has become one of the most popular student areas in Liverpool due to its proximity to the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, and the Knowledge Quarter. This may have sparked the interest of investors interested in HMO-style student housing. Some student housings have been filtered out into Tuebrook from Kensington. These houses are quite cheap and up and coming and will be having a lot of eyes on it soon. If you choose one of the L6 neighbourhoods in Liverpool for your buy to let, you can expect a yield of around 8.4%.

Allerton is 3 miles south of the city centre and has a considerably more small-town atmosphere. Locals enjoy the fact that everything revolves around Allerton Road, which is lined with small bars, restaurants, and local stores. It is close to major bus lines and train stations. Allerton also have many high-end luxury flats and studios available, giving fabulous returns. 

Sefton Park

Sefton Park, just a few minutes from the city centre, is one of Liverpool’s most lovely sites. This neighbourhood is home to Liverpool’s largest public park, which holds a variety of festivals and significant events throughout the year. The Palm House building, a three-tiered conservatory, the Field of Hope, and the Eros Fountain are all located in the park. Lark Lane is in Sefton Park, a neighbourhood in Liverpool that has grown popular with students. There are numerous cafes, bars, bistros, boutiques, and music venues to choose from. Luxury Student Homes has several properties in the Sefton Park region that are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. 

City Centre

Liverpool city centre is a fantastic place for students to reside because there is so much to see and do. Universities like Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Liverpool have campuses in this area. There are also a plethora of bars, clubs, and other events to keep students of all tastes entertained. One disadvantage of living in the city centre is that rent is much more than elsewhere in the city. Property prices in this postcode have been rising, reflecting a growing desire to live here, and there has been a lot of regeneration, such as Liverpool One, and more is on the way, such as New Chinatown at Tribeca Fields. L1 student housing not only benefits from its proximity to restaurants, clubs, public transportation, and shopping malls such as Liverpool One, but it is also more easily accessible to the University Campuses. Rental returns in L1 are among the finest in Liverpool for buy-to-let; if you choose your property carefully, you may earn a 10% return on your investment.
